What Israel is doing in Gaza will remain in history.
You have committed one of history's darkest and most shameful of crimes against humanity.

Dear Mr Keefe,
Thank you for your interest in, and concern for the present situation in Israel and Gaza.
The Embassy of Israel in Canberra understands your concern, but Israel stands by its right to defend its civilian population from terrorist attack. More than 10,000 rockets have been fired into Israel since 2001, despite a complete withdrawal from Gaza by Israel in 2005. Now, more than 800,000 Israelis are within range of Hamas’ terror attacks.
Hamas chose not to extend the state of calm that had existed between Israel and Hamas since June, and marked its end by stepping up rocket attacks against Israeli civilians.
It has cynically used the population of Gaza as human shields, just as it builds its Qassam rockets near schools and hospitals. It bears the ultimate responsibility for civilian casualties in Gaza.
Even in this difficult situation, Israel is committed to dialogue, and a two-state solution. Israel will always believe in peace for its region.
For more information and updates, please see the Embassy’s website at http://canberra.mfa.gov.il.
Regards,
Embassy of Israel
